SEASON PREVIEW

Eighteen Starters Return to Face Challenging Schedule With 18 returning starters, including nine on each side of the football, the North Carolina Central University Eagles enter their third season of NCAA Division I-FCS competition with excitement and optimism. Third-year NCCU head football coach Mose Rison will lead the Eagles against a challenging slate of opponents in 2009, including national FCS power Appalachian State and the program’s first Bowl Championship Subdivision foe Duke University. NCCU posted a 4-7 overall record during the 2008 campaign, but the Eagles finished strong with three victories in the final four games of the season. Of the 18 returning starters, five will be seniors (4 offense, 1 defense), nine juniors (3 offense, 6 defense) and four sophomores (2 offense, 2 defense). And while the wealth of returning starters is comforting, there will be much competition for the starting roles between the returners, several red-shirt freshmen and a highly-touted recruiting class. OFFENSE: When NCCU has the ball, Rison will look to 33 Eagles with playing experience, including 16 who were in the starting lineup at some point a year ago. “Unlike in years past, we do have returning starters and people who have played on offense,” Rison said. “They will be comfortable. They will not be shell-shocked playing in their first game.” The key to any productive offensive unit is a solid front line. The Eagles welcome the return of four starters and a host of other experienced and talented linemen. “We are going to line up with some experience, size and athleticism up front,” Rison said. Leading the front men is a pair of senior tackles, Gabriel Manns (66, 305, Winston-Salem, N.C.) and Eric Stanley (6-5, 347, Sterling, Va.). Manns is a three-year starter with loads of experience, athleticism and potential to get even better. “‘Gabe’ has all of the intangibles of being one of the best offensive linemen here at NCCU,” Rison said. “I have watched him grow and get better and better each year.” Stanley has started as a guard for the past two seasons, but will move to the right tackle spot to firm up the outside protection. “Every time Stanley lines up to play, he takes it personally,” Rison said. Holding down the middle is junior center James Frye (6-2, 323, Catawba, N.C.). “He is the glue… our anchor,” Rison said. “Good size and very athletic. He’s nasty!” The question mark on the offensive line is at the guard position. “We will have some quality candidates,” said Rison, mentioning a few names like Timothy Charity (Jr., 6-0, 270, Manteo, N.C.), Mario Brice (Jr., 5-11, 296, Rock Hill, S.C.), Tamiko Kelly (Jr., 6-2, 316, Forest City, N.C.), and Alex Johnson (So., 6-2, 292, Monroe, N.C.). “The cupboard is not bare.” The highest profile battle for the starting job is at quarterback. Five games into last season, NCCU’s fourth all-time leading passer, Stadford Brown, suffered a season-ending injury (broken collarbone). From that point on, a pair of red-shirt freshmen, Keon Williams and Michael Johnson, shared the signal-calling duties. The young quarterbacks gained valuable experience during the final seven games of the season and in spring practice, but neither Gabriel Manns is a three-year starter that has solidified himself anchors the offensive line. (Photo by Rick Crank) as the starter.

“I am really pleased with what we saw in the spring from the quarterback position,” Rison said. “We are going to have tremendous competition for the starting job.” Williams (So., 6-0, 183, Charlotte, N.C.) completed 57.6 percent of his passes (38-of-66) for 462 yards in seven games. “Keon is a very intelligent quarterback,” Rison said. “He has done a ﬁne job with his growth and is a steady performer.” J o h n s o n (So., 6-2, 222, Durham, N.C.) was successful with 51.6 percent of his pass attempts (32of-62) for 517 yards Senior wide receiver Will Scott was named as the and six touchdowns FCS Independent Preseason Offensive Player of in four outings. “I the Year by Lindy’s 2009 College Football Preview could see Michael’s magazine. (Photo by Rick Crank) growth during spring practice, especially at the line of scrimmage,” Rison said. “His thought process and vision at the line is much different now. He has been in the heat of the battle and feels comfortable with the system.” Standing behind the quarterback is a trio of junior running backs that accounted for more than 100 percent of the team’s rushing output from last season. Tailbacks Tony McCord, Tim Shankle and Justin Campbell combined for 1,044 ground yards in 2008, while as a team the Eagles tallied 1,011 total net yards rushing (rest of team combined for a loss of 33 yards). McCord (Jr., 5-11, 180, Stone Mountain, Ga.) led the way with 464 yards on 122 carries with a touchdown, averaging a team-best 42.2 yards per contest. Shankle (Jr., 510, 220, Gainesville, Fla.) was just off the pace with Junior Tony McCord leads a trio of quality 449 yards and three scores veteran running backs. (Photo by Rick Crank) on 109 rushes, while

SEASON PREVIEW Campbell (Jr., 5-6, 194, Monroe, N.C.) contributed 131 yards on 26 attempts for an average of 5.0 yards per carry. “McCord has separated himself as our top back, but at any time Shankle and Campbell can come in and we won’t miss a beat,” Rison said. “We have legit running backs that continue to get even better.” The squad’s fourth-leading rusher, fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez (Sr., 6-0, 238, Durham, N.C.), is also one of the most formidable blockers. “He has gotten bigger and stronger,” Rison said. Sophomore DeMarcus Hill (5-11, 219, Charlotte, N.C.), who started at tight end as a red-shirt freshman, has moved to fullback. Rison said he sees “tremendous upside” for Hill in the backfield. Hill was pushed into the starting role at tight end last season after just two games when Earthan Ward (Jr., 6-4, 218, Edenton, N.C.) suffered a season-ending injury at James Madison. “We are pleased with Earthan’s progress in the spring,” said Rison. “He caught the ball extremely well. He has the ability to stretch the field. We are glad to have him back.” Arguably the deepest position for the NCCU offense is at wide receiver. While Rison mentioned six sets of capable hands, the head coach started with two-time team offensive MVP, senior Will Scott (6-2, Junior defensive lineman Teryl White was selected as the FCS Independent Preseason 180, Charlotte, N.C.). Scott topped the Eagles with 45 Defensive Player of the Year by both Phil Steele’s and Lindy’s 2009 College Football Preview catches for 787 yards with five trips to the end zone in magazines. (Photo by Rick Crank) 2008. Lindy’s 2009 College Football Preview magazine he is.” tagged Scott as the FCS Independent Preseason Other Eagles to watch on the defensive line are sophomore Dominique Offensive Player of the Year. “Will Scott could be one of the most explosive Moore (6-3, 289, Roanoke, Va.), who tallied 11 tackles with 1.5 sacks in receivers in the country,” Rison said. “I could see a positive change in him limited action as a rookie, along with red-shirt freshmen Xavier Proctor (6at the end of last season. He has great speed and can run past people.” Complimenting Scott on the other side of the field is junior receiver 6, 229, Ellicott City, Md.) and Joe Hutchinson (6-2, 222, Charlotte, N.C. “We have a lot of talent, athleticism and size on the defensive line, but Deshawn Spears (5-8, 152, Bunnlevel, N.C.), who was third on the team we are still young,” Rison said. “We will need to grow up fast.” with 33 grabs for 439 yards a year ago. “Deshawn has shown the ability to Even with the departure of the team’s leading defender from 2008, make big plays,” Rison said. “He is small in stature with a big heart.” senior linebacker Troy McConico, NCCU’s linebacker corps remains solid. Other leading candidates to haul in the pigskin are Corey Harris (Jr., 6-4, 180, Chesapeake, Va.), Jonathan Nicely (So., 6-4, 194, Augusta, Ga.), Five returners accounted for more than 20 tackles each, including three Andrew Johnson (RS-Fr., 6-2, 176, Fayetteville, N.C.), and Geovonie backers with 40 or more. Alex Winters (Sr., Irvine (So., 5-7, 145, Durham, N.C.). 5-10, 220, Burlington, N.C.) is tops among the DEFENSE: In 2008, the NCCU starting defensive squad mainly consisted of two returning linebackers with seniors, one junior, six sophomores and two freshmen. The youthful unit 56 takedowns, including experienced a baptism by fire early on, but continued to improve. During 3.5 hits for a loss with a the Eagles three victories down the stretch, the defense allowed an average sack. He also recorded two fumble recoveries, of just 12.3 points per contest. “Our defense was so young last year,” Rison said. “We played a tough including one for a 38yard touchdown, a forced schedule, but every game was a good experience and helped us grow.” Thirteen of the team’s top 16 tacklers from a year ago - all with 20 or fumble, an interception and a pass break-up. “Alex more tackles to his ledger - return to the roster, including nine starters. The marquee defensive Eagle for the upcoming season is junior is extremely excited about lineman Teryl White (6-4, 278, Winston-Salem, N.C.), who led the squad his senior year,” Rison with 11.0 tackles for a loss, including 3.0 sacks, and topped all linemen with said. “He has made a lot 55 total takedowns. Both Phil Steele’s and Lindy’s 2009 College Football of plays for us and is a Preview magazines selected White as the FCS Independent Preseason tremendous asset because Defensive Player of the Year. “A lot of schools missed out on Teryl White,” of his senior leadership.” Calvin Hillie (Jr., Rison said. “He is athletic and can run. Teryl had an outstanding spring 6-1, 235, Concord, N.C.) practice and I think he is going to have a great year.” blasted his way to 43 The other returning starter in the trenches is junior nose guard Sam tackles as a sophomore, Battle (5-11, 266, Rocky Mount, N.C.), who recorded 22 tackles, including including 3.0 takedowns 6.5 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks last season. “Sam is by far the strongest Senior Alex Winters is the leader of five player on the team,” said Rison, referring to Battle’s ability to bench press behind the line of returning linebackers that amassed more 500 pounds. “He is difficult to block one-on-one because of how strong scrimmage, a recovered than 20 tackles each last year. (Photo by Rick Crank)

SEASON PREVIEW fumble and a pass deflection. “Calvin is a very physical football player,” Rison said. “He will strike you!” Donald Laster (Jr., 6-0, 233, Shaker Heights, Ohio) spent a significant amount of time in the opposition’s backfield last season. He amassed 40 tackles, including 9.5 hits for a loss with a team-high 6.0 sacks, while adding a team-best six quarterback hurries, more than twice as many as any other Eagle. “Donald had a good season last year,” Rison said. “He was in a new position to start, but picked up what we were doing as the season went on.” Roger Stewart (So., 6-1, 207, Charlotte, N.C.) earned a starting role as a rookie, flying all over the field for 33 takedowns, including 4.0 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. “Roger has done nothing but get better,” Rison said. “Plus, he has put on weight and size, and had a great spring practice season.” Eliezer Sandifer (So., 5-11, 212, Miami, Fla.) collected 21 tackles in limited action as a freshman, but is expected to compete for a starting role as a sophomore. “Eliezer continued to improve in the spring,” Rison said. “He runs extremely well and has a great nose for the football.” Anthony Sharp (Jr., 5-10, 215, Chapel Hill, N.C.) contributed 17 tackles last season. “Anthony is the vocal leader on our defense,” Rison said. “He made a lot of plays in the spring.” Of all the positions on the field, Rison said he is the most excited about who is returning in the secondary. “We did not give up a lot of big plays in the passing game,” he noted. The four top returners, free safety Jeffery Henderson, strong safety Derek Harvey, cornerback Rashad Fox and cornerback David Ingram, all started for the Eagles at some point last season. Henderson (Jr., 6-0, 187, Garner, N.C.), who is considered “really steady” by Rison, placed second on the team with 56 tackles (33 solo) last year, while adding five pass break-ups and a team-best three forced fumbles. Ingram (So., 5-8, 167, Waldorf, Md.) topped the Eagles with nine passes defended, including a team-high four interceptions returned for 82 yards with a trip to the end zone. He also had 24 tackles and a recovered fumble to his credit. Fox (Jr., 5-11, 180, Washington, D.C.) recorded 26 tackles (17 solo), three pass break-ups, an interception and a fumble recovery as a sophomore. “We lock him up against the opposition’s top receiver,” Rison said. “Fox is our shut-down corner.” Harvey (Sr., 5-8, 188, Raeford, N.C.) posted 22 tackles, including a hit for a loss with a half-sack, along with an interception and a pass deflection as a junior, and had a strong spring practice campaign, according to Rison. Rison also noted that junior JaQuez Canty (5-9, 184, Winston-Salem, N.C.) will move from linebacker to the safety position. Canty tallied 20 takedowns with a sack last season. The goal of the NCCU defense has not changed from a year ago, according to Rison. “We want to make an offense one dimensional by stopping the run,” he said. SPECIAL TEAMS: The NCCU special teams unit took a big hit due to the graduation of the program’s all-time leading scorer, place-kicker Brandon Gilbert, who amassed 279 career points and either holds or shares every kicking record in school history. The kicking duties will be placed in front of two true freshmen, Frankie Cardelle (5-10, 175, Salisbury, N.C.) and Nickolas Hahula (5-11, 205, Rocky Mount, N.C.), and there will be an open competition, according to Rison. “Brandon Gilbert cannot be replaced,” Rison said. “What I am hoping is that these young kickers can come in here and be close to where B.G. was his freshman year. If they can come close, then the kicking game will be in good hands.” Two newcomers, a junior college transfer and freshman Brian Haselsberger (6-0, 180, Oak Ridge, N.C.), will also be vying for a starting

role as the team’s punter. One special teams position that Rison feels is taken care of is long snapper, where sophomore Zachary Means has solidiﬁed himself. “He is snapping rockets back there,” Rison said. Rison also feels optimistic about the Eagles return game, which boasts speed and bigplay potential. Deshawn Spears averaged 16.6 yards per kickoff return and 6.1 yards per punt return last season, both team highs. Newcomer Geovonie Irvine will also get the chance for some game-breakers as a return specialist. The 2009 edition of the NCCU Eagles will report to campus on Aug. 7. The ﬁrst practice is slated for Aug. 8. Fans will have the opportunity to “Meet the Eagles” on Aug. 29 starting at 11 a.m.

UNIVERSITY PROFILE History In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard envisioned and founded a school that prepared African American adults for leadership roles in our nation’s communities. Founded as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, North Carolina Central University (NCCU) became the nation’s ﬁrst state-supported historically black liberal arts college. In 1923, the National Training School became the state-supported Durham State Normal School, devoted to “the training of teachers for the Colored Public Schools of North Carolina.” Two years later, Dr. Shepard was able to persuade the General Assembly to take a revolutionary step, making the institution a liberal arts college and naming it North Carolina College for Negroes in 1925. The School of Law was established in 1940 and the School of Library Science in 1941. By the time of Dr. Shepard’s death on October 6, 1947, the institution that had become North Carolina College at Durham was fully-accredited, highly respected and had become the alma mater of a growing list of distinguished alumni. Today, under the leadership of Chancellor Charlie Nelms, NCCU is a comprehensive university offering more than 100 bachelor’s degrees in various disciplines, 40 master’s degree programs and three professional degrees in law. The university reaches out to all racial and ethnic groups, and has a diverse student population of more than 8,500. New Initiatives NCCU is on the cutting edge with its Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise known as BRITE. The institute offers new bachelor’s and master’s degrees in pharmaceutical science.

These programs provide students with core scientiﬁc competencies in biology or chemistry as well as handson laboratory practice. In addition, there are seminar courses in drug development operations, FDA regulations, quality assurance and control, and intellectual property and patent law. NCCU’s BRITE is an important part of the statewide initiative to make North Carolina a premiere provider of skilled workers for the biotechnology industry. The School of Law has won kudos for providing top-notch legal education. According to Vault, Inc., a publishing firm that researches and collects data on diverse professions, the law school has not received the acknowledgment it is due. Vault surveyed 512 recruiters who identiﬁed 25 “underrated” schools, and the NCCU School of Law was ranked at number 14. NCCU and the African American Jazz Caucus are partnering to form the NCCU/AAJC Jazz Research Institute (NAJRI) in an effort to preserve the integrity of jazz as an African American art form. One of the functions of the Institute will be to address the critical artistic and economic situation of jazz in the African American community as well as develop other initiatives such as a North Carolina Hall of Fame dedicated to highlighting the work of jazz artists from North Carolina. In an effort to bring more study abroad options to students, NCCU has been accepted as a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a nonprofit membership organization that provides affordable and diverse study abroad and exchange opportunities to students around the world. NCCU is only one of four historically black college or university in the ISEP network. ISEP membership makes it possible for NCCU students to study abroad at over 135 different universities in 39 countries. The university’s athletics programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams compete at the NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level. In 2006-07, NCCU was the CIAA Champions in football, and women’s cross-country, women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball. NCCU is the first historically black institution in the nation to have an athletic

training education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Built upon the motto of Truth and Service, NCCU is a university committed to preparing and equipping students with the knowledge and skills to compete in the global marketplace.

CHANCELLOR Chancellor Charlie Nelms assumed his duties as Chancellor of North Carolina Central University August 1, 2007. Prior to joining the NCCU family, Nelms served as vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs at Indiana University, which enrolls approximately 100,000 students on eight campuses. In his role as IU’s vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs, Nelms was responsible for a combination of duties on the Bloomington campus and systemwide that spanned university planning, institutional research and effectiveness, enrollment management, student affairs, academic support services, K-12 outreach initiatives, student retention, honors programs, and diversity and equity efforts. In September 2001, TIME magazine named IU’s Bloomington campus the

number-one student-centered research university in the nation. Many of the programs cited by TIME were under Nelms’ oversight and direction. A native of Crawfordsville, Arkansas, Nelms majored in agronomy and chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, graduating in 1968. He later earned a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs (1971) and a doctoral degree in higher education administration (1977) from Indiana University. Early in his career, he rose through the faculty and administrative ranks as associate dean for Student Development at Earlham College in Indiana (1973-1977), associate director of the Center for Human Development and Education Services at the UAPB (19771978), associate dean for Academic Affairs at Indiana University Northwest (19781984) and vice president for Student Services at Sinclair Community College in Ohio (19841987). In 1987, Nelms began a seven-year tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, a commuter campus serving east-central Indiana. During his tenure there, the campus was the fastest-growing college in the State of Indiana. In 1994, Nelms was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF), an urban campus that enrolls over 6,500 students and offers a full spectrum of undergraduate and master ’s degree programs. Before being recruited to Indiana University in 1998, he resolved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a four-year enrollment decline, and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF.

DR. CHARLIE NELMS NCCU Chancellor Nelms holds honorary degrees from Earlham College and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Over the course of his career, he has received numerous awards for his contributions to education and service to students, including the Benjamin Hooks Award for Meritorious Achievement from the Gary (IN) branch of the NAACP, the Distinguished Alumni Service Award from Indiana University, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the IU School of Education, the President’s Medal from the University of Michigan, and the State of Indiana’s Sagamore of the Wabash—the highest civilian award bestowed by the governor. Nelms is married to Jeanetta Sherrod Nelms. They have one son, Rashad, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School who serves as a policy ofﬁcer with the United Nations World Food Programme.

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS North Carolina Central University is competing in its third year of reclassification as an NCAA Division I institution (Football Championship Subdivision), and the Eagles will be playing as an independent during the 2009-10 athletics campaign. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I-FCS level. Men’s intercollegiate teams include football, basketball, baseball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country. NCCU’s athletic programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years, headlined by the 1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship. NCCU’s commitment to a balanced athletic program, providing equitable resources to all of its sports teams, is abundantly apparent. In five of the last eight years in the Central

Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), NCCU claimed the Loretta TaylorAll-Sports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women’s program in the conference. In 2007-08, NCCU’s first season of Division I (FCS) competition, the women’s volleyball team kicked off the Division I era with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over N.C. State, then cruised to 21 victories, all against Division I opponents. The football team finished its first Division I season with a 6-4 record, the Eagles fourth straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross country teams each won four of their seven events. The men’s basketball team played one of the toughest schedules in the country, while traveling more than 22,000 miles and playing in 13 different states. The squad earned a road victory over the eventual Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) champions and capped the season with a win over rival Winston-Salem State University at the MEAC Tournament. Finally, the track and field program won two events at the prestigious Penn Relays and qualified two student-athletes for the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Boston. In 2006-07, NCCU’s final season in the NCAA Division II, the Eagles placed 24th in the final standings of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup, the prestigious award presented annually to the best overall collegiate athletics programs in the country. In 2006-07, NCCU won four CIAA team championships and participated in nine NCAA Division II Championship events. Several former student-

EAGLE CLUB

The New Eagle Club If you haven’t heard, there’s a new booster club at North Carolina Central University. It’s the all-new Eagle Club.

NEW HOME TURF

ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLATION UNDERWAY AT NCCU’S O’KELLY-RIDDICK STADIUM New Playing Surface to Aid in Heavy Use of Athletic Fields

DURHAM, N.C. (www.NCCUEaglePride.com) - In an effort to maximize the use of its athletic fields and reduce financial and human resources, the North Carolina Central University Department of Athletics has initiated the process of installing artificial turf inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. On July 13, Medallion Athletic Products, Inc., the company contracted to perform the artificial turf installation, broke ground on the Eagles home football field. The new Mondoturf playing surface is projected to be ready for use on Aug. 24, pending agreeable weather and any installation issues. NCCU’s football home-opener is on Sept. 19 against Morehead State. “We are extremely excited about the new upgrade to our football stadium field,” said Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree, NCCU Director of Athletics. “The addition of the artificial turf will provide our student-athletes with an attractive and safe playing surface to improve their performance and showcase their talents.” NCCU looked into the possibility of artificial turf because of the amount of use its lone practice field (located inside the track) receives throughout the year by athletics, the band, campus recreation programs and community groups. “We are land-locked,” Wicker-McCree said. “Therefore, these two fields (practice and game fields) are the only true open spaces on campus. We now have the opportunity to offer more time on the fields by these groups and others by having lower maintenance time and costs to the department and University.” The total cost of the project is expected to be $816,000, which will be paid by the Athletics Department in eight annual payments of $102,000. “This is a sound investment for NCCU,” WickerMcCree said. “Over the years, we have spent a significant amount of financial and human resources to maintain our practice and game fields. Inevitably, due to heavy use and inclement weather, the conditions of the fields worsen as the year goes on. “The artificial turf can accommodate a lot of use while maintaining a consistent look and a safe playing surface,” she added. “It will also improve the condition of the practice field by reducing the amount of time it is utilized.” For more information about the type of artificial turf being installed, visit the Mondoturf web site at www. mondousa.com. For updated photos of the installation process, visit Facebook.com/NCCUAthletics. 52

“The addition of the artiﬁcial turf will provide our student-athletes with an attractive and safe playing surface to improve their performance and showcase their talents.” Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree, NCCU Director of Athletics

SEASON REVIEW 2008 REVIEW NOTEBOOK The Eagles of North Carolina Central University finished their second season of Division IFCS competition with a 4-7 overall record. A young an inexperienced squad struggled at the start of the season, dropping the first four games out of the gate. Turnovers and missed opportunities crushed the Eagles against a challenging slate of opposition. NCCU faced two teams that were ranked in the top three in the nation late in the season, each making long playoff runs. Still, NCCU battled and continued to improve. The rewards for the Eagles’ effort were victories in three of their last four games, including two straight to end the campaign. THE 2008 SENIOR CLASS NCCU lost eight seniors from the 2008 squad, including six starters. The departed Eagle seniors were quarterback Stadford Brown, receiver Wayne Blackwell, kicker Brandon Gilbert, running back Jeff Toliver, offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye, defensive lineman Eric Smalls, offensive lineman Greg Greene, and linebacker Troy McConico. Brown ranks as the school’s fourth all-time career passer with 5,202 passing yards. Blackwell finished eighth on NCCU’s career receptions list with 117 catches. Gilbert is the Eagles’ all-time scoring leader with 279 career points and either holds or shares every kicking record in school history. Olafioye was a two-year starter on the offensive line. Smalls placed fifth among NCCU defenders in 2008 with 54 tackles. McConico was the team’s leading tackler last season with 73 takedowns.

Wayne Blackwell

LONG ROAD JOURNEY TAKES EAGLES TO FIVE DIFFERENT STATES NCCU played its seventh and last road game of the season on Nov. 8 in San Luis Obispo, Calif. NCCU’s seven total road games this season took the Eagles to five different states, including Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, South Carolina and California. The Cal Poly trip was NCCU’s first journey to California in 20 years, when the Eagles played Cal State Sacramento in the second round of the NCAA playoffs on Nov. 27, 1988. In contrast, just three seasons prior in 2005, NCCU played 12 football games and never left North Carolina. EAGLES DEFEAT RIVAL AGGIES FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME NCCU defeated long-time rival North Carolina A&T 28-27 on Oct. 4 at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. The victory was the third straight in the series for NCCU, the longest such streak since the Eagles defeated the Aggies five times in a row from 1970-74. EAGLES FACE TWO NATIONALLY-RANKED OPPONENTS NCCU lined up against two teams that were ranked in the Top 10 in NCAA Division I-FCS national polls. When the Eagles visited James Madison on Sept. 6, the Dukes were ranked No. 8 in the nation. JMU went on to earn the No. 1 spot in the country before losing in the NCAA semifinals. NCCU also traveled to California to play the No. 3 Cal Poly Mustangs. GILBERT BREAKS SCHOOL RECORD FOR CAREER FIELD GOALS NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert made three field goals versus Winston-Salem State on Nov. 15 to become the school’s all-time leader in career field goals, breaking the old school standard of 40 set by Kevin Houston (1992-95).

SEASON REVIEW GILBERT ESTABLISHES SCHOOL SCORING RECORD NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert made a field goal and an extra-point kick in his final college game on Nov. 22 versus Savannah State to post his school scoring record at 279 career points. GILBERT EXTENDS EXTRA-POINT STREAK TO 104 NCCU senior place-kicker Brandon Gilbert finished his collegiate career by making 104 consecutive extra-point kicks, dating back to Sept. 5, 2005 versus North Carolina A&T when a celebration penalty forced a lengthy try. In fact, Gilbert did not miss an extra-point kick against a Division II opponent during his NCCU career. He was 146-of-148 in PAT kicks, with both misses coming against Division I-FCS teams (at Delaware State on Sept. 11, 2004, vs. North Carolina A&T on Sept. 5, 2005). BLACKWELL ONE OF THE TOP RECEIVERS IN NCCU HISTORY NCCU senior receiver Wayne Blackwell wrapped up his college career as one of the top receivers in school history. The Reidsville, N.C. native tied for eighth on the school’s all-time receptions list with 117 career catches, and ranks 11th in receiving yards with 1,462. He also caught 15 touchdown passes. NCCU QUARTERBACK BROWN OUT WITH FRACTURED COLLARBONE Moments before the end of the first half against North Carolina A&T on Oct. 4, NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown suffered a fractured collarbone when he was sacked on a third down play. Brown had surgery Oct. 13 and missed the remainder of the season. BROWN’S STATUS IN THE NCCU RECORD BOOKS NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown solidified himself as one of the top Eagle signal callers in school history. In only three seasons at NCCU, Brown ranks fourth in career passing yards (5,202), third in pass completions (399), third in touchdown passes (46), and fourth in total offense (5,207). TOUCHDOWN PASSING STREAK FOR NCCU’S BROWN NCCU senior quarterback Stadford Brown threw a touchdown pass in 16 consecutive games, dating back to the final contest of the 2006 season. In fact, the three-year Eagle completed at least one touchdown pass in all but one game during his NCCU career (26 of 27), with the 2006 CIAA Championship Game versus Elizabeth City State University on Nov. 11 being the lone standout.

booted his 93rd consecutive extra-point kick to make the score 28-13 at 3:49 of the third stanza. The Aggies did not back down as red-shirt freshman running back Nigel Tomlin used his 6-foot, 192-pound frame to bull his way for two touchdown runs. Tomlin’s first scoring scamper was 21 yards with 1:21 left in the third quarter. His second touchdown was a 1-yard plunge that was set up by a 63-yard quarterback draw play by Carlton Fears. A&T opted to kick the extra-point to make it a one-point game at 9:56 of the fourth quarter, rather than go for two points and a tie. That proved costly, as the NCCU defense, which forced three turnovers on the night, held its ground. Winters led the unit with eight total tackles, while Roger Stewart added seven stops, Eric Smalls had six hits with a sack and a forced fumble, and Derek Harvey tallied five tackles and an interception. NCCU’s Shankle finished with 55 yards on the ground, while Tony McCord added 42 rushing yards. Brown completed 7-of-12 passes for 62 yards and a score before the injury. Wayne Blackwell caught four passes for 42, while Spears grabbed three receptions for 52 yards. NCCU posted 242 yards of total offense compared to 296 total yards for the Aggies. A&T was topped by Tomlin’s 110 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while linebacker Brandon Long amassed 11 tackles, including 4.5 hits for a loss to lead the Aggie defense.

North Carolina Central ..........................24 Presbyterian ...........................................28 October 11, 2008 Bailey Stadium - Clinton, S.C.

Three feet. That proved to be the difference in the game. North Carolina Central University battled back from an 18point second-half deficit with an opportunity to defeat Presbyterian College from the 1-yard line. The visiting Eagles, however, fumbled the snap from center on first-and-goal and Presbyterian recovered the loose ball to secure a 28-24 victory at Bailey Memorial Stadium in Clinton, S.C. NCCU trailed 28-10 late in the third quarter after Presbyterian tight end Sam Wilson caught a 44-yard pass from Brandon Miley for a touchdown with 3:21 left in the third stanza. The Eagles, playing in their fifth straight game away from home, appeared down and out after the score. However, freshman quarterback Michael Johnson came off the bench to rally the Eagles offense. On only his fourth college snap from center, Johnson connected with Will Scott for a 52-yard touchdown strike to give NCCU a ray of hope with 1:20 remaining in the third quarter. The NCCU defense forced Presbyterian into two punts and a missed field goal before the Eagles struck again, this time on a 24-yard Johnson pass to Wayne Blackwell. Brandon Gilbert’s 96th consecutive extra-point kick pulled the Eagles to within 2824 with 3:54 left in the game. NCCU head coach Mose Rison showed a lot of faith in his defensive unit by booting the ensuing kickoff deep, rather than attempt an onsides kick. The Eagles defense did not let him down, forcing a Blue Hose punt on a three-and-out series and giving NCCU the ball with 2:07 on the clock. On third down and six yards to go from the NCCU 44-yard line, Johnson threw a 37-yard post pass to Deshawn Spears, who made a diving catch at the Presbyterian 19-yard line.

In the critical fourth quarter, the NCCU defense held the Tigers to just one first down, 33 yards passing and zero yards rushing. 63

SEASON REVIEW NCCU sophomore lineman Teryl White had a fumble recovery to go along with six tackles, including a sack. Red-shirt freshman David Ingram collected his team-best fourth interception of the season. NCCU senior linebacker Troy McConico amassed a teamhigh 10 tackles, including a sack and two forced fumbles, while senior lineman Eric Smalls accounted for six tackles, including 2.5 hits for a loss with a sack. Junior defensive back Derek Harvey added a career-high six tackles. NCCU senior kicker Brandon Gilbert hit a 42-yard field goal to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead at 3:44 of the first quarter, then made his 104th consecutive extra-point kick at 13:42 of the second quarter. Gilbert ends his college career as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 279 points, and also tops the Eagles career lists for field goals (44) and extra-point kicks (147). Savannah State was topped by senior defensive back Javorris Jackson with 16 tackles, while senior linebacker Calvin Leonard added 11 stops, including two hits for a loss. The Tigers were led offensively by freshman quarterback Kurvin Curry, who completed 8-of-18 passes for 99 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown to Isaiah Osborne with 3:49 left in the third quarter. The other NCCU seniors that ended their careers Saturday were offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye, offensive lineman Greg Greene, quarterback Stadford Brown and running back Jeff Toliver.
